So.... in case anyone was wondering, Erik did make it back safe from his rafting trip!!! And I FINALLY heard from him on Sunday afternoon. It was definitely a LONG weekend though. These experiences are good for us, however! Err... in some way or another. ;)
We're not even in the same state right now, yet when he leaves his own town I get scared! ....For good reason too! Turns out he DID almost die at one point on his little escapade! :'(
He was capsized from his raft and got pulled into a whirlpool in one of the rapids. After much sputtering, the whirlpool finally shot him out and he had to ride through 2 more rapids free-floating.
Luckily, after all that, he IS alive! I seriously don't know what i'd do without him.
Okay, okay....enough mushy gushy stuff.... sorry.
Aside from all that... Everything is great right now! Work was good today! ...I only had an energy drink explode all over me, and I almost hit a cat on the way home. No fry sauce or tea... so we're good! ;-)
And currently i'm holding the super soft stuffed llama that erik sent me with a book that he re-wrote the words for [about a month ago]. It was originally called "Llama Llama Misses Mama", but got changed to "Little Erik Misses Jaesika". (Awwww....)
Maybe one of these days, although you won't get to see the pictures that are in the book, i will type up the story so you can read it yourself! It's way cute... :) You'll just have to trust me for now though. :)
I'm sorry I don't have much more to say right now... I'm pretty tired!
I've gotta get to bed so I can get up early and go to my internship in the morning! :/

Long Weekend
This weekend has officially been the worst of the whole summer.
Erik went away with some friends on a rafting trip, and while i'm super happy that he's enjoying himself and having fun... I'm also sad because it means I don't get to talk to him. He doesn't have any cell phone service at his campsite. This is the longest I've gone without talking to him for the whole summer so far. Actually, it's the longest i've ever gone without talking to him since we met. :(
Not getting to talk to Erik isn't the only thing making my weekend miserable though.... Work yesterday was the most stressfully exciting day i've had since working there.
For those of you that don't know, I work at the Maverik gas station in Wendell, Idaho. This is my summer job til I get married and go back to Rexburg this fall. And let me tell you, it is just glamorous. ;-P
To tell you the story in a nutshell, I was filling up condiment bottles when I dropped a whole gallon of fry sauce all over the floor and the mats in the bakery... And as it was going down, half the fry sauce got on me and my shoes. Then after cleaning it all up (mopping, taking the mats outside to hose them off, and sweeping), I kept getting more stuff on me (such as ketchup and mustard), which i never do. I don't have a clue as to why i was so clumsy! :(
This is not all though! Just afterwards as i was carrying the tea dispensers to empty them in the back room, the lever got pushed down while i was opening the door and the tea started running down the side of my pantleg.
A few minutes later I counted my till to end my shift and accidentally threw the change away in the trash can. What was I thinking?! Digging in the garbage was the last thing I wanted to be doing at this point. :/
Ah well... such is life when you work at Maverik! Today went a little better... I only got yelled at for not doing someone else's dishes last night before I left, and I dropped a case of Gatorade bottles all over the floor. Nothing huge! Not compared to yesterday!
Only one more day til I get to talk to my best friend. <3
He always makes everything better.

Summer Love
This summer has been terribly long so far... probably because Erik and I aren't together for the summer. He is at home in Washington doing his internship with the bureau of the ATF and working, while I am doing the same in Idaho. I am working and doing my internship with the hospital in Jerome.
We went 2 months without seeing each other, and then the day finally came when he came to visit me just 1 week ago. He stayed for 3 nights, and we stayed very busy while he was here. We registered at 2 stores for our wedding registry. We got our engagement pictures taken. I took out my endowments in the Twin Falls temple... and the list goes on. Needless to say, our time together wasn't enough for either of us. At least this next waiting period will be half as long as the first one.
I'm going to be traveling up to Washington in July to visit Erik and his family. Throughout this whole time we've been together, I still haven't been up to his house. Yes, I have met his parents and all... I just haven't been up to their home front. I am just so excited; the day won't come soon enough-- it never does. :/
There is a positive side to all this time though... it gives me time to attempt to get all the wedding plans taken care of. Note: attempt. ;) So far not much has gotten done because I've had very little help. I got the bridesmaids dresses ordered, Erik bought his suit, and we just got our pictures taken... I think that's it for the main stuff. I still haven't gotten my dress, but I think it will finally be happening next week. I have a couple days off work, so i'll be going down to Utah with my mom and sister to a place in Salt Lake that my aunt told my mom about. I previously was set on going to Margene's Bridal in Boise, but I got overruled. :/ Ah well... hopefully this other place delivers. ;P
As for our pictures, I actually just got back the proofs today! I've been looking through them and, despite our wariness about whether we'd have any good shots, I think we have some that will make us, and everyone else, happy. :) Once we choose which ones to use, we'll be on our way to getting our announcements printed and sent out! Yay! :)
I really wanted to post one of the pics just as a preview... BUT I just realized I can't. The photographer gave me hard copies, and the ones on his website do not allow me to copy, paste, or save them in any way. :/ Sorry. :(
Well, hopefully I said enough to give you an insight into my life right now! I miss Erik a ton... it's hard to live without him, with us being so far apart from each other. It's a good learning experience though... in some way or another, and I know we'll both come out stronger from it... more able to face challenges in the future and love each other through all our hard times. No matter what.
I never dreamed I'd get so lucky. Erik is everything I could have ever dreamed of and more, and we are simply perfect for each other. I can't wait til I can call him my husband. <3
